I am wondering if there is anyone that has placed or considered placing C4 Steering and front end in a Fiero GT? My spouse wants power steering and I want a pretty good one for her. Any ideas??

This does not put the front C4 crossmember in place, but it does give you power steering: https://westcoastfiero.com/...aulic-power-steering

im also doing research on installing a EHPS unit from a 2016 Dodge Challenger to an 88 rack. Not going to happen soon, its #48 on my list of things to do.

One of the best things I did on my track Fiero was to install a 2001 WS6 power steering rack on it. Quick ratio, good feedback and easy on the driver during the 2 hour stints at race speed. I had an '85 GT as a daily driver at the same time and was very tempted to put power steering on that as well, so much nicer.

On a list of must do to a Fiero, it's right at the top after an engine swap.

I think one of the best modifications I have done was power steering. I have done the C4 rack and the 2000+ rack from LS1 V8 equipped cars. I actually installed a ZR1 rack with the ultra high ratio steering rack.
I made a thread about it, check it out.

Excellent work and I enjoyed the thread so far, I probably should have mentioned that I am dealing with an 86 GT.
